In the hearts of millions of Vietnamese people and friends around the world, President Ho Chi Minh is revered as a brilliant leader, a national liberation hero, and an outstanding cultural figure. Uncle Ho's ideology and ethics forever remain a flaming torch shedding light for Vietnamese revolution. He found the path to national salvation with the truth "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom"...

General Vo Nguyen Giap - an excellent student of Uncle Ho, the talented Commander-in-Chief of the heroic Vietnam People's Army. The General led our army from one victory to another, contributing to the immortal epic: From Dien Bien Phu, "resounding across five continents, shaking the globe," to the Great Spring Victory of 1975, completely liberating the South and reunifying the country. The General's simple image when visiting Bien Hoa in May 1975 became a sacred memory, encouraging and motivating the entire Party, army, and people of Dong Nai province to unite and strive for the development of their homeland after the day of liberation...

Heroic martyr Vo Thi Sau - the indomitable and resilient daughter of the Red Land of the Eastern Region, sacrificed her life for the independence of the Fatherland before she was twenty. Her indomitable image with the famous quote before the enemy's gun barrel, "Don't blindfold me. Let my eyes look straight into your gun barrels," has become an immortal monument, a symbol of patriotism and the steadfast spirit of the Vietnamese people. Her blood merged with the motherland, igniting the spirit of "Determined to die for the Fatherland to live"...

In this sacred and meaningful moment, with all due respect and boundless gratitude, the delegation of leaders, former leaders of the Party, State, National Assembly, and delegates attending the 1st Dong Nai Provincial Party Congress, for the 2025-2030 term, respectfully bowed before the spirits of President Ho Chi Minh, General Vo Nguyen Giap, and heroic martyr Vo Thi Sau.
